It's a common problem for first time Bromtpon owners (speaking from experience)
Watch this, it should be able to fix the correct position for the rear arm:
-
I'm not familiar with that paritcular design, but presumably you need to take it apart, and - with the spring engaged -twist it backwards past the stop as you reassemble it, so it has some tension in it.
-
its old af, so possible some wear, but unlikely on the spring. the tension should be pushing the long arm / idler wheel clockwise, maybe you have got the spring caught or over tightened the main screw?

@Tijs
Why is my T5 chain tensioner like this:
... when it's supposed to be like this(?):
Admittedly I've taken it apart, so I must've assembled it wrong. Before the tension was already low, but now it's basically unusable. I can't figure out what I did wrong, since the spring can only be mounted in one way. Is it worn out maybe? I fitted it in the correct slots in both parts.
